I've noticed that Oasis have quietly changed their advertising recently, and now talk about 50-60" seat pitch in business class instead of the straight 60" they previously claimed. Does this mean that some J-class seats are configured as 50" and others 60" in the same aircraft?
I'm flying HKG-LGW with them later in the year and would like to reserve the better seat if I can identify which ones to go for.

The aircraft rotate.
The Plane that flies HKG-LGW on Monday then flies HKG-YVR on Tuesday, while the plane that flies HKG-YVR on Monday then flies HKG-LGW on Tuesday , with one spare rotate in as needed. The schedule is neatly timed to rotate the aircraft between routes departing from HKG.

Just flew oasis this weekend on business class (HKG-LGW).
For the price, I was very impressed. Will try and get a full trip report sorted when I'm less tired.
One thing of note, in the inflight magazine they showed Oasis's present and planned routes. Its showed SFO, but no Oakland.
Have finally got round to writing a trip report. Can be found here:

I suspect that is the case is that for YVR the 60 inch pitch is for the old ANA F and the 50 inch pitch is for the old ANA J.

You can see a fairly accurate view of the interior of O8's business class, from an ex-SQ 744 here:

I shot it from the nose looking back into the seats (rather from the back of the seats looking forward) on the main deck level

I see lots of good comments with regards to the Biz class product, has anyone travelled economy with them and if so, and comments/pics?
I saw they have 32" pitch.. KLM (and several other non-LCC!!) have 31"!!
And they are a poopload more expensive.
Also, does anyone know about their timeframe with regards to their expansion into Cologne/Bonn? Or perhaps Dusseldorf?

They said the staff were good, the food was OK, the IFE was as good as expected and in general the service good. They said the seat pitch was fine and better than with BA, etc.
In terms of price if you get a good deal they are cheaper than the other carriers.
Future plans to Europe? Don't know. I suspect they are concentrating on SFO first before they look at other destinations.
